Copy of Ride with Me Series – Beginner to Intermediate Bike Ride w/Anna

Anna Weier (she/her) likes to ride bikes, fix bikes, teach people how to ride and fix bikes and do fun bike-related projects. Anna learned to ride bike as a kid and currently rides a ruby raspberry coloured bike. She loves going places while her kid pedals along on the trail-a-bike. Anna learned how to fix bikes as an apprentice mechanic at Natural Cycle Worker Co-operative over 20 years ago and has since worked as a mechanic and manager at UMCycle and has been a volunteer mechanic with The WRENCH and for lots of other bike related events. Anna has learned to teach bike riding in the last year through partnering with Leigh Anne Parry at Winnipeg Trails and from the mostly Newcomer women who have had the courage to learn to ride bike as adults. When you see Anna, tell her your best bike stories.

These rides are for everyone and are particularly well suited for the beginner rider who may benefit from a bit of coaching. Along with a special guest and destination, each ride will include a cycling instructor to offer tips and tricks and make sure you are comfortable. Not sure the rules of the road? Wanna learn more about a kind of riding? Don’t know the best routes? Join us for a fun way to get familiar. If you can pedal and stop, why not take it to the next level and go for a ride?

Consider this an intermediate bicycle lesson disguised in a little adventure.

Q. I don’t have a bicycle, can I participate?

A. Yes please! We have bicycles, cargo trikes, tandems, and handcycles available at the starting location for rent by donation.

Q. I can pedal but not confidently. Can I participate?

A. Yes! We will go slow and make sure everyone is comfortable. We will take breaks and keep the distances short. A coach will be along for the ride to offer tips. This is how you can learn.

Q. I have a bike but it needs minor repair/adjustment.

A. Bring it to us, if it is a simple repair/adjustment we will help you on the spot, if a major adjustment we can take a look at it but bring it in early or rent one of ours while your bike gets looked at.
